I'd like to meet Les in Chorlton, Gedi, John J, Pip Radish, Shimrod, 8 Pints, Suibhne O'Piobaireachd, Rapunzel, Myrtle, Kate in Chorlton, Alan G, John Routledge, Matthew Edwards, Dave Bishop, Helen Jocys, Vin2 and possibly even Dave El Gnomo if we can get him over the border.

I'd like to meet them tomorrow night at 8pm at the Beech in Chorlton for a night of mainly but not exclusively traditional songs.

The rest of you are most welcome, too...

In answer to SRS's question of 4:04 pm yesterday:

JOhn joined Facebook very recently ~ within the last couple of days. When I got his friend-request yesterday and OKd it, his "status" was a request for information: "How do it put my picture here?" Someone told him pretty quickly, since he had a profile picture in place within an hour or less.

At first, I didn't know who this "JOhn Evans" requesting my "friendship" might be, but then I took a closer look at how he spells his name, with that capital-J/capital-O. Aha!

His Facebook identity lists his location as "Leeds." Is Hull in the area of Leeds, and too small a city to be a "network area" on its own? I hope that's the case ~ it would be tragic if JOhn from Hull had relocated!

If I simply MUST choose only three, then (in no order whatever) Art Thieme, Joe Offer, and Kendall.

Oh, self-control be damned! And Sinsull, and Charlie Noble, and Catspaw, and Max, and Katlaughing, and Amos, and . . . and . . . and . . .

Have met or am aware of many onthis side of the pond, so will go for some of our colonial cousins, who I am unlikely to meet. Would like to sing street rhymes with Azizi, and shantis with Charlie Noble, and perhaps bump into Joe Offer and wish him well for all his efforts on our behalf.

Hi Robyn half the world away. I'd love to meet you too and I love to experience festivals in places that are almost half the world away from me.

There are lots of other people who post to this site who I'd love to meet. But I'm not going to name names because I'm bound to forget to mention some names.

I shall always regret not having met Rick Fielding. So generous and charming in sharing his knowledge.

Curiously (so long as she had no idea who I was) I would like to meet Diane Easby - not to apply percussive persuasion, but because although she comes across as the worst b1tch in the whole of the Mudcat there is an undeniable huge store of knowledge and information there. If only it was not inside a porcupine guarded by a viper and a portuguese man of war jellyfish with a wolverine in the background.

Feel free to bribe me. I haven't mentioned anyone yet that I'm dying to meet. But a realistic offer of drugs, sexual favours or money could secure you a place on my top three.

Mind you - I make no promises. The top three places are bound to hotly contested. And to be frank its a bit like those gigs on Jools Holland's programmes - even if you're complete crap - we might just let you rub shoulders withthe stars, if the fix is in.

Emma, I kind of agree about the 'beauty contest' threads, but I hope we're pretty much in consensus that mentioning a few Mudcatters by name in no way implies that they are the only ones we'd like to meet, or even necessarily our first choices. They may just be the ones someone happens to think of at the moment or the ones we've been PM'ing most recently, or whatever.

Well, Mister Ex=President-to-be Bobbert, I guess I can't stay mad at you after you tried so hard to serve your nation. What's a little monkey crap between friends.
So I guess the only thing now is for you to choose which of Azizi, Wolfgang, or Mr. Noble gets bumped off my list by your return.
You have to make the choice because otherwise I could be accused of vote rigging.

I don't really like these reoccuring mudcat 'beauty contests' they remind me too much of one of my favourite songs, At Seventeen and the spectacle of mutual ego massaging is not a pretty sight :)

However, three of the favourite people I have already met are all mentioned here and one of the people I hope to meet for the first time soon too - you know who you are folks!

There are still good friends yet to meet and many to meet again I hope as well as some regrets.

Yeah. For instance, I've traded PMS with Don Meixner for years here on subjects from thumbpicks to guitars for people with lousy hands. He always seemed like a really nice guy. Then I met him last fall and he was exactly as nice and engaging in person.

Sorry, man, but I'z still in morning, denial and absolute confusin about my failed candidacy... IO think I have subconciously blocked all of that out... Heck I didn't say nuthin' about Chongo, who I aslo din't actually meet since the two of you was in Raliegh at the our national head1/4's and I was stuck here trying to fugure out how Obama was getting million on this here computer an' we weren't gettin' jack... No, make that, "We were getting jack" but jack ain't what jack used to be... With the current excheange rate jack ain't even jack... You don't belive me??? Well, take a sack opf jack down to yer bank an' see what you get for it... You won't even get jack back!!! Sho nuff won't...

But jack or no jack, Skivz, after me and my shrink get me thru my little situation about the campaign you will go to the top of my must meet'ers... I swear you will... Right now I'm still really messed up over my failure... I thought we could pull it off...I'd blame the chimp but it ain't his fault at all...

Maybe '12???
